THE MAIN STREET OF MILLS 50 IS A HIGH TRAF-FIC VEHICLE DOMINATED PROMENADE WITH A RHYTHMIC EDGE THAT MAINTAINS A DIVERSE AS-SORTMENT OF MARKETS. THE DIVERSITY CAN CORRILATE TO THE RHYTHIC ENSAMBLE OF BUILD-ING TYPE, BLOCK STYLE AND LOCALIZED DEN-SITIES WRITEN BY AN AUTOMOTIVE SYMPHANY

& PLAYED DAILY BY TEN-THOUSAND COMMUTERS

DISTRICT A CONVERGENCE OF ACTIVITY IS ROUTINE AND EVOLVING WITH THE DIVERSITY THAT IS PRESENT IN THE DISTRICT OF MILLS 50. MAP 1 SHOWS THE HIERARCHY OF LOCAL NEIGH-

BORHOODS THAT FEED THE HIGH DENSITY TRAFFIC OF MILLS AVE AND HIGHWAY 50. SUCH HIGH DENSITY PROVIDES EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY TO INVITE CONSUMERS PASSING BY. SHARED BUSI-NESS IS POPULAR IN MILLS 50 AND NIGHTLIFE IS A GREAT WAY TO MAINTAIN STEADY BUSINESS. OPPORTUNITY OF MAP 2 LIES IN THE DENSITY OF SIMILAR SERVICES IN UNIQUE ESTABLISHMENTS

ACCENTUATED A STANDARD FAR OF .70, SIMILAR TO THAT OF COMMUNITY

CENTERS, WOULD ALLOW MIXED USE CORRIDORS TO BUILD TOWARDS VENTURE ENTERPRISES AND ALLOW FOR HIGHER DENSITIES TO EXIST. RESTRICTED MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF STREET-FRONT EN-TERPRISES TO 50FT ON MILLS AVE. WOULD BE CONSIDERATE TO NEIGHBORING RESIDENTS WHILE ALLOWING FOR OFFICE AND MAINSTREET HOUSING TO NATURALLY POPULATE MILLS 50 DISTRICT.

SECTION THERE ARE TWO TRENDS THAT SEEM TO OVERWHELM THE USE OF MILLS50. THE FIRST USE IS TO PARK IN THE INDIVIDUAL PARKING LOT OF AN INTENDED DESTINATION.

THE SECOND TREND IS A MORE TYPICAL “MAIN STREET” TREND THAT INVOLVES OCCUPANTS TO STREET PARK AND EXPLORE THE SCENE BY BAR HOPPING. ONE CAN ARGUE THAT THIS IS DIVER-SITY, HOWEVER, UNBALANCED AND HIGH CONTRASTS ARE NOT HEALTHY FOR A SUCCESSFUL MAIN STREET. THE INTERVENTION OF THIS PROJECT MUST INSPIRE INTERACTION IN ALL DIRECTIONS.

CONDITION THE EXISTING CONDITION IS A VERY SOLID, SIMPLE RECTANGLE VOLUME WITH NATURAL LIGHT AND CONSUM-ER EGRESS STRICTLY DEDICATED TO THE EAST ALONG MILLS AVE..

THE SOLID WALLS ARE CMU FILLED, CAST IN PLACE WALLS FLUSH WITH STRUCTURAL COLUMNS. THERE IS OPPORTUNITY SURROUNDING THE SOLID STRUCTURE WITH A 20 FOOT GRASS SETBACK TO THE SOUTH, AN ELEVEN CAR PARKING LOT TO THE NORTH, NATURAL EARTH GROUND TO THE WEST FACING LANG ST. AND AN ENTRY FLUSH WITH BUSY MILLS AVE. POTENTIAL MUST BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF.

CONDITION THE INVITING CONDITION COULD ONLY TAKE PLACE ONCE THE CMU IN-FILL WAS PULLED FROM THE ORIGINAL SHELL AS A RAINSTORM LIFTS TO UNVEIL HONEST COLORS.

THE NORTH FACADE WAS THE BEST OPPORTUNITY TO SHOWCASE THE PROGRAM OF THIS INTERVEN-TION TO NEW-COMING EYES ENTERING MILLS50 DISTRICT FROM THE SUBURBS OF GREATER NORTH ORLANDO. HONESTLY, THIS SHOWCASE DOUBLES AS A SOLUTION ADDRESSING THE NEED FOR A SUN-COVER ARCADE TO INTRODUCE FOOD-TRUCKS TO PARK AGAINST THE BUILDING WITHOUT INTRUDING.

INTERACTING

G2MILLS50.indd 16 5/22/13 8:43 PM

CONDITION THE INTERACTING CONDITION IS ONE THAT TAKES PLACE AT A MAC-RO AND MICRO SCALE; IT IS AN IN-TERNAL AND EXTERNAL CONDITION AND OCCURS BETWEEN PROGRAMS.

THERE IS A NEED FOR THE INTERVENTION TO INTERACT WITH THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT SINCE IT TAKES PLACE IN BOTH A BUILT AND NATURAL CONTEXT. THERE IS A NEED TO INTERACT WITH THE STREET AND THE PACE, THERE OF, AS WELL AS INTERACT WITH PEDESTRIANS AT ANY GIVEN SIDE. THERE IS A NEED FOR TWO CONTRASTING PROGRAMS TO INTERACT, MUCH LIKE MILLS50 USERS.

THE EXPERIENCE OF MILLS AVENUE IS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT FROM THE EXPERIENCE 150 FEET TO THE WEST ON LANG ST. MILLS AVE IS A BUSY, VEHICLE DOMINATED STREET THAT IS NOT VERY FRIENDLY TO CYCLISTS THAT SHARE THE COMMUTE EXPERIENCE. THE RELAXING NATURE OF LANG ST. AND THE AVAIL-ABILITY OF ORLANDO URBAN TRAIL ARE PREMIUM OPPORTUNITIES TO ENHANCE CYCLING IN ORLANDO.

CONDITION THE EXCHANGE CONDITION IS ONE THAT DEFINES THE CONNEC-TION OF CONTRASTS THAT EXIST IN MILLS50 DISTRICT AND WITHIN THE PROGRAM OF THE INTERVENTION
